      India under Section 22 of the RBI Act, 1934?
      A The Central Government Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B The Ministry of Finance Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C The State Bank of India Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D The Reserve Bank of India Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E The Central Board jointly with the Government Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 22(1) confers upon the Reserve Bank of India the sole right to issue bank notes in India. The Bank may also issue currency notes of the Government of India supplied to it, for a period fixed by the Central Government on the recommendation of the Central Board. Under Section 22(2), once the Chapter comes into force, the Central Government shall not issue any currency notes. Thus the sole right to issue bank notes vests in the Reserve Bank of India.
